field does not work
Fix to prevent MyISAM from reading data from NULL BLOB.
Fix to make record comparison independent of values of unused bits in
record.
Updating binlog positions in tests.
Problem: mysqlbinlog_base64 failed sporadically.
Reason: Missing "flush logs" before running $MYSQL_BINLOG,
which could start dumping the log file before server
has finished writting into it.
Fix:
- implementing --force-if-open option to "mysqlbinlog"
- adding --disable-force-if-open to make $MYSQL_BINLOG
fail on non-closed log files, to garantee that nobody
will forget "flush logs" in the future.
- adding "flush logs" into all affected tests.
Problem: when loading mysqlbinlog dumps, CREATE PROCEDURE having semicolons
in their bodies failed.
Fix: Using safe delimiter "/*!*/;" to dump log entries.
internal charset to one associated with currently being handled query.
To note such a query can come from interactive client either.
There was a discussion within replication team and Monty who's suggestion won.
It avoids straightforward parsing of all `set' queries that could affect client side
character set.
According to the idea, mysql client does not parse `set' queries but rather cares of
`charset new_cs_name' command.
This command is generated by mysqlbinlog in form of exclaiming comment (Lars' suggestion)
so that enlightened clients like `mysql' knows what to do with it.
Interactive human can switch between many multi-byte charsets during the session
providing the command explicitly.
To note that setting new internal mysql's charset does not
trigger sending any `SET' sql statement to the server.
- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
(Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code
